Stake Rack Features


Steel Stake Racks

  • Rack Heights: 42" for all sizes
  • Posts are die formed, and steel slats are roll formed and die crimped
  • Posts are arc welded to slats to form steel stake racks
  • Stake racks for regular and heavy-duty platforms are made with 14-gauge steel posts and 18-gauge steel slats. Extra heavy duty and outside stake pocket platforms have racks made with 12-gauge steel posts and 16-gauge steel slats
  • Each stake rack is reinforced at its base for extra strength at, and above, the floor line
  • Stake racks feature acrylic e-coat immersion priming for protection against rust and corrosion
  • Available in black, white or prime paint.  Wood slats are also available in 1" x 6" (nominal) dense southern yellow pine with a clear finish or black enamel.
  • If factory-finished in black or white, the stake racks feature a powder coat topcoat. In this process electrically charged paint powder is applied to the racks. The racks then move through a baking oven which melts the powder and provides a smooth, glossy, chip-resistant finish.

    Benefit: Reading racks provide safe, secure support for your load. They are built without compromise, and feature the best protection available against rust, corrosion, and the rigors of daily use.

  • Spring-Loaded Latch

  • A spring-loaded latch on one post of each rack holds it firmly in the stake pocket.  To remove rack, simply trip the latch and lift the rack.

  • Quick Release Gate Latch

  • All racks lift out individually for easier loading and unloading.  Each rack section is secured to the adjoining section by a sturdy quick release gate latch.
